He sat upon the front steps in the bitter winter rain
With no note left behind nor any neighbors to explain
Inside the house was dark,
just the lantern light was on
Right behind your door he waited all night long
Oh, Ali
Ali
I don't know why
Things choose the things they do
And I don't know why
Things choose the things they choose
Where's the love that we all have in store?
The love that we've been searching for Ali
In the morning light spring buds are falling from the trees The
white skirt of your dress is swaying softly through the street
Your puzzled eyes are asking me behind your painted face You
only sought forgiveness from this why did they betray you
Oh, Ali
Ali I
don't know why
Things choose the things they do
And I don't know why
Things choose the things they choose
Where's the love that we all have in store?
Where's the love that we've been searching for?
In turning time I'll find that you and I are both the same
Two roses born in spring set to die and fall again
Maybe there's a reason why we have to be alone
And control the seasons when the sun turns tray to cold
Oh, Ali Ali
I
don't know why Things choose the things they do
And I don't know why Things choose the things they choose
Where's the love that we all have in store?
Where's the love that we've been searching for?
